I gave this 4 forks because the ingredients are simple and in season, it was easy to make, and it was really quite tasty. I used farfalle instead of linguine. I also grated the Parmesan finely because another reviewer said she was left with gobs of cheese in the dish.

Yum. Excellent pasta dish. I did a quick Google search for bab tomatoes and came up with nothing, so I assume they meant to write baby tomatoes. (Granted, that doesn't help much more, but at least we're not all going crazy)
I also wouldn't add the Parmesan while cooking. I ended up with globs of cheese in my pasta that wouldn't separate. Other than that, this makes for a wonderfully healthy and hearty meal- you won't miss the cream sauce at all!

A reasonably hearty, summer pasta dish. The sauce is a nice alternative to more common tomato or cream-based sauces. Although I may make it again, I seriously doubt it will become a staple in my summer cooking repertoire.

This is an easy, simply, and fantastic summer
dish! I usually am annoyed when people
completely change a recipe and write a review
on how clever they are (um, start a blog
instead?) but I must make a suggestion! I
crisped a few slices of bacon, which I crumbled
and added to the finished product, and cooked
the veggies in the bacon fat rather than the
olive oil. Bacon makes everything better!

What this recipe is good for is the corn pasta sauce technique.
Otherwise it's a springboard for something much better than just as written.
Peas not in season with corn around us. So I used zucchini and green beans, which I sauteed with garlic. Also used parsley and oregano along with basil.
Ended up with something like alfredo (because of the body of the pureed corn) but much lighter. Kids loved it.

This was an excellent recipe! Very tasty and very good with other veggies from the garden. I used broccoli and added garlic for a change. I also used a little less basil that what the recipe calls for. It was a big hit!!
